Glory and Suffering
Making Sense Out Of SufferingSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explores the concept of glory and how it relates to suffering. He argues that the pursuit of glory is not inherently bad, but it must be viewed in the context of a divine plan. Quoting Hebrews 2, Gregg notes that God brought sons to glory through the sufferings of Jesus, who was a perfect image of God's glory without sin. Gregg further explains how suffering can lead to humility, trust, and a decreased focus on self.
